Bummer . Any local shop with a competent mechanic should be able to look for damage.

In that picture, is your steering wheel turned to the left or is it suspension damage?

Try posting in the regional forum. More people from your area will see the thread and hopefully help you out

when you drive it does the car want to turn any on its own. I work at a shop what you really need to do is take it to a place that does alignments... Be ready to pay for the alignment, But they will definately find if something is out of wack..... Sears auto center will attempt to align if it, if it's off they usually won't charge you and they will inform you what is wrong.. But honestly i doubt anything is wrong just your rim and tire took all the abuse but who knows...

jesse is correct. you probably only knocked the car out of aligment. most chain shops can do an aligment for you. but you should be fine.

I'd have it checked out. At least make sure the wheel is centered in the wheel well. I damaged my wheel just as bad in my accident and I had to replace a bent strut, lower control arm, knuckle, and hub. Better safe than sorry.

Get it checked out first then start worrying about how much it costs. And I agree with BlackxB about the alignment and driving it first, being that he works down the street from me lol. Unfortunately without having it actually checked out it's anyones' guess. Good luck with it.
